As stated in the goofs, the sheriff uniforms are incorrect, but on top of that, the U.S.A. flag on their jackets' shoulder faces forward. While there is technically no wrong way to wear the American flag on a uniform according to the U.S. Flag Code, most law enforcement agencies follow the practice of the U.S. Army, which, when wearing the flag on a sleeve, orients the blue star field to the front of uniform.

When returning to Paradise, Ohio from Warsaw, Indiana, John and Sam stop by a rail track to assist Henry, and an AVR (Allegheny Valley Railroad) train passes them. The AVR services Pennsylvania (which is where the movie was shot) but has no trackage or trains serving anywhere between Paradise, Ohio (just south of Youngstown) and Warsaw, Indiana (west of Fort Wayne).

This movie isn't the best action film of the year. This movie isn't another tongue-in-cheek teen movie. Most importantly, this movie isn't a "wannabe" of the Twilight franchise. This movie is entertainment for all viewers that delivers a good story, action, and desire to want more at the end. I was lucky enough to work as an extra in this movie for about 2 weeks and was able to see how this film came together, piece by piece. The visual effects truly make the film enjoyable. Seeing it behind-the-scenes, I couldn't imagine what it would look like. To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised.
The acting was believable and consistent (unlike previous reviews who claim the actors lost steam halfway thru the film). Timothy Olyphant is perhaps the best character in the film, Pettyfer following right after. The best part about this film: the love story within the plot WAS NOT painful/annoying to watch (such as Twilight).
This movie is definitely worth seeing in theaters, as the action scenes truly make the experience. I Am Number Four is a great start to what could be a fantastic franchise.
